Cutting superpollutants seen as fast climate win

Original: disrupting supply chains, agriculture, energy systems and workplaces, and many can be cut with technologies available to

Discussion is focused on superpollutants — methane, black carbon, tropospheric ozone, nitrous oxide and high-warming refrigerant gases — which warm the planet far more powerfully than carbon dioxide per tonne. These pollutants are already disrupting supply chains, agriculture, energy systems and workplaces. Advocates stress that many emissions can be slashed using technologies available today, making rapid cuts one of the most achievable ways to slow warming in the near term.

Why now: Growing attention to near-term climate action is putting superpollutants in the spotlight as a fast, technologically feasible way to cut warming.
